[PATCH] fs: fix address space warnings in ioctl_fiemap()

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Sun Jan 16 2011 - 09:29:09 EST


The fi_extents_start field of struct fiemap_extent_info is a
user pointer but was not marked as __user. This makes sparse
emit following warnings:

CHECK fs/ioctl.c
fs/ioctl.c:114:26: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
fs/ioctl.c:114:26: expected void [noderef] <asn:1>*dst
fs/ioctl.c:114:26: got struct fiemap_extent *[assigned] dest
fs/ioctl.c:202:14: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
fs/ioctl.c:202:14: expected void const volatile [noderef] <asn:1>*<noident>
fs/ioctl.c:202:14: got struct fiemap_extent *[assigned] fi_extents_start
fs/ioctl.c:212:27: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
fs/ioctl.c:212:27: expected void [noderef] <asn:1>*dst
fs/ioctl.c:212:27: got char *<noident>

Also add 'ufiemap' variable to eliminate unnecessary casts.
